Subtle sophistication with the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette

The killer looks and radical makeup styles of the likes of James Charles and Jeffree Star may have millions of adoring fans the world over, but by and large, the average workplace isn’t quite ready for that kind of badass style quite yet - and that’s where more muted tones come in, like the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette. So leave the fierce do-or-die makeup for the weekends and party nights, and create a subtler, but no less professional looking face, with some warm neutrals.

Subtler shades can produce an amazing look

We started this review by saying that warm neutrals were more suited for daytime and more formal occasions, but that’s not to say that you can’t also glam it up for night time with this versatile palette. Go big on the shimmer for a dramatic look, or choose a rich, dark combo for a moody, badass vibe that channels your inner diva. Palettes like these offer so much variety and versatility, and they can produce a huge range of looks, making them perfect for anyone on a limited budget. It’s all about experimentation these days, so play around with the colours in this palette to find your own unique blends and ways to wear these shades.
